Again I do not own GH or any of the characters. I just manipulate them to my will. HAHAHAH lol sorry it's the day before Halloween. I wanna say thanks to my friends from Soap Central for dropping by and checking out my story :) Love you Otter1 and Soapfairy! Also thanks to story followers evilduomom, Speedie22, and sashahailie. Also thanks to sashahailie for the review. Keep the reviews coming I love them and feel free to make suggestions of something you'd like to see or characters you'd like included I am pretty much just going to start out with AJ and Elizabeth's points of view and then add in the other characters. Most of the Drama with Michael and Sonny and Carly will take place outside the story for now but be integrated later as it fits in with AJ &Elizabeth. They will more or less just talk about what is going on. If you want to read a scene I haven't included PM and I will add it in maybe as a flashback I will try to make everyone happy. :)

Elizabeth sighed as she wrapped herself in a towel. She hated showering at GH, but she just didn't have time today. Olivia had asked her if she wanted to spend a night on the town. She had been feeling a little bit better since Heather was once again locked up in Ferncliff, hopefully never to see the light of day again. That had been a traumatic day. Heather had been railing at Steve, Elizabeth had been in the room to check her vitals. Steve told Heather she would be going away for good and Heather had lost it. She had tried to get out of the bed and fallen to the floor and then, using the bed for support, she had gone off on Steve. Laying in the hard guilt trip. Saying things like, "How could you do this to your own mother? Steven Lars you can't just send me back. Please, Steven Lars, please you are the only one who can help me." And when pleading didn't work she turned mean, "Steven Lars this is your fault, you know. Are you going to stand there and let them punish me? Steven Lars you are responsible for me. You should go to jail for your treatment of your mother."

Elizabeth had had enough. Standing in front of Steve, she rallied her anger at the woman who had been torturing her brother relentlessly. "That's it! Heather, You are not his mother!" Heather shrunk back a little, surprised the petite brunette had stood up to her. "Our mother raised Steve. Our mother took care of him. How dare you treat him this way after all you've done. Kidnapping and baby switching, murdering Maggie. You deserve to go back to Ferncliff. In fact, I wish they'd just stick you in a room that you never come out of. You have hurt enough people in Steve's life. In our lives. So why don't you sit down, shut up, and wait for the nice men in the white coats to come and put you back in your straight jacket!" Elizabeth had been advancing towards Heather but Steven had caught her arm to hold her back.

Heather had sprung up seething with rage. "How dare you speak to me this way. You are nothing. You are nobody. Nobody wants you. Nobody. You think I don't know about you little crush on Jason Morgan? But he preferred Samantha to you. And I hear tell Lucky Spencer wanted away from you so bad he ran all the way to Ireland. You are nothing to me! NOTHING! I AM STEVEN LARS' MOTHER!" By the end she was screeching so loud that orderlies had heard her and come in the room she was being held down and given a sedative. As she was going under, Steve had walked up beside the bed. He had leaned down to whisper in her ear. "You are not my mother. You never have been and you never will be. My sister is right. My mother, my real mother, is the woman who raised me to be a good man. Who raised Elizabeth to be a good woman. That is who our mother is." That said he had walked out of the room grabbing Elizabeth hand and pulling her with him. Closing the door behind them and walking away from Heather Webber for good.

Steve and Elizabeth had grown closer after that day. Heather's words had stung both of them. But they had each other to lean on. Steve and Olivia had gotten closer as well. Olivia's strange visions had started to ease and she was feeling better. Heather's words about Jason and Lucky still haunted Elizabeth. Was she that undesirable? Jason was gone, presumed dead, Lucky had indeed taken off to Ireland. Ric was gone off to California, she heard, after things with Sonny had finally come to a head. Nickolas had even left. She had been trying to rebuild her life but every time she thought she was fine on her own, fate seemed to throw one of these men in her orbit and she was falling all over again. Even though, she knew, It would always lead to her being brokenhearted.

Elizabeth dressed quickly in her clothes for that evening. She still had to pick up the boys and take them to Grams. She was taking them up to an apple orchard up north this weekend. She had asked Elizabeth a few weeks ago if it was okay and Elizabeth had agreed. She didn't know how much time she had left with Audrey but she wanted the boys to spend as much time with her as they could. Audrey was pretty amazing. She could almost run circles around Cam. And Aiden was such a good baby. He hardly ever cried.

She couldn't wait to go out. It had been so long since she had had a girls night. Not since Robin had been here. Elizabeth thought about her friend as she put the finishing touches of her make up on. Those great tequila nights they had had. She finished running her errands dropped off the boys and headed over to Steve's. Lulu would be meeting them at The Floating Rib. Olivia opened the door at Steve's a huge smile on her face.

"Whoa wee girl. You clean up nice. That is a great outfit!" Elizabeth had chosen to wear her favorite pair of jeans and a top that was a little lower cut than she was used to. But she loved the aquamarine color of it. "That shirt! Man your brother is going to have a fit when he sees it!" Olivia ushered her into the room. She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans with a black top that had a little sparkle to it. She leaned over and grabbed her coat and purse. Steve came in through the door as they were getting ready to leave.

"Elizabeth!" She stopped in the act of swinging on her coat.

"What?" She said as he just stared at her. "Steve?" She asked expectantly, her eyes daring him to say something about her top.

Steve shook his head. "Nothing. Have fun. Give me a call when you guys are ready for a ride home." He leaned into Olivia to give her a kiss goodbye and whispered in her ear. Make sure she keeps the jacket on. Olivia laughed and kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't be such a fuddy-duddy. Your sister looks beautiful and she's a grown woman who can take care of herself." Laughing to two ladies headed out the door and down to the cab that was waiting for them.

The music was really going as Olivia and Elizabeth walked in to the Rib. The was a band playing onstage. They were playing a classic rock song. Lulu waved them over the had gotten them a table near the pool tables. Elizabeth and Olivia waved to Mac as they headed over. Lulu gave them each a hug and sat down motioning to Mac to bring them a round of drinks. After everyone had settled in jackets were taken off and Lulu gave the appropriate "Holy Crap" over Elizabeth's cleavage, they settled in to talk about all things girly and the shots were flowing. They couldn't stop laughing. It was the best Elizabeth had felt in a long time.

"Wow" Lulu exclaimed staring at the door. "Guys, You are not going to believe who just walked in!"

Olivia and Elizabeth turned to see who Lulu was talking about. Olivia had no clue who the guy who walked in was but she couldn't help thinking he was pretty hot. She glanced over at Elizabeth to tell her and noticed her friend was staring transfixed at the door, like she had seen a ghost. But there was also a spark there that Olivia had noticed missing from Elizabeth over the past year or so. Olivia was delighted with this turn of events and decided she was going to help her friend whether she liked it or not!
